Replays showed that Ramires may have gone down easily to win the spot kick in Arsenal's 2-1 loss.

Arsene Wenger has expressed his unhappiness with the decision to award Chelsea a penalty in the Gunners' 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

Referee Martin Atkinson pointed to the spot after Wojciech Szczesny challenged Ramires in the area, but replays showed that the Blues midfielder may have deliberately stuck out his leg in order to trip over the goalkeeper.

"I don't think it was a clear penalty. I think it was no penalty," the Arsenal manager told Sky Sports. "[The referee] could have given Ramires a yellow card. I didn't see it well from the bench but I've been told by people that have seen it on television that it is no penalty.

"If it's no penalty, it is no penalty. It's either a dive or the player has had to go down not to make contact. I don't know – all I've heard is that it doesn't look like a penalty on television."
